Overview

About 18 Elder Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

18 Elder Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1NX). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 sits 63.7% above the 2015 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 55.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. At 80 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 18 EPCs).
